Chief Keef’s Former Manager Uncle Ro Reveals BDs Tried To Extort Him

Chief Keef’s former manager Uncle Ro says life in Glory Land wasn’t always sunny. Though Chief Keef was a blossoming fruit in Glo Land, his gang ties would soon spoil their business relationship.

According to Dro, him and Chief Keef are on good terms today, saying that him and his wife still go to his house for dinner.
But their relationship was not always peaceful.

In an interview with Vice, Ro said senior members of Sosa’s gang aimed to extort money from him, spreading lies about his motives and threatening him and his family.

After months of Keef defending him, the two decided to part ways due to both being “tired of the drama.”

“I wasn’t used to this,” Dro told Vice. “I was a guy from the suburbs. How did I get involved with this whole scene? It’s his game, right?”

In December 2014, Sosa notably parted ways with Dro, writing on Twitter, “Glo Gang finna be under new management! 4 da better.”

Fredo co-signed the move, taking to Twitter to write, “bout time u [listening] to something.”

This wasn’t the first time Sosa announced he was parting ways with Ro. In December 2013, Sosa told fans him and Glo Gang were managing themselves.
Sosa wrote on Twitter, “UncleRoManagement is no longer managing GloGang. #WeManagingOurSelf Fuck boyz

The tweet came as a shock to many because Uncle Ro promoted Sosa’s Glo Gang a day prior.

Ro wrote on Twitter, “I’m stepping my game up GloGang 2014. My old shit is 8 years newer than y’all new shit, and that’s real new money. GloGang music.”

Sosa, at this time, didn’t elaborate on why he fired Uncle Ro. Sosa’s career was riddled with controversy under his management early on in his career.

The duties of a manager include, but are not limited to, overseeing an artist’s finances and expenses, securing quality facilities for studio time, making sure an artist makes scheduled appointments, knowing the whereabouts of the artist and ensuring the safety and well-being of the artist.

A teenage Sosa had little guidance in his young career.

He had a share of run-ins with the law and lost a lot of money due to missed concert performances. He even missed a scheduled appearance at BET’s 106 & Park and an important video shoot with 50 Cent and Wiz Khalifa for his popular song “Hate Being Sober.”

This put Sosa on bad terms with the multi-platinum selling artist.

Uncle Ro revealed Chief Keef missed two flights to the video shoot during an interview with Best Of Both Offices.

“The label hooked it up and they set it up with Keef and they didn’t set it up with Keef’s team,” Ro told Best Of Both Offices.

“So, when it came time to fly out, he missed the first flight. Then he missed the second one. And then it was just like, you know, ‘Well we gonna come do it at another date, if that’s fine with you.’ It was nothing other than that, you know, all the rumors.”

Ro said Chief Keef isn’t used to scheduling video shoots.

Keef, he said, tends to schedule videos the day he wants to shoot.

“And a lot of people in the game looked at videos and do videos a lot different than we do,” Ro said. “We just wake up one day and just feel like doing a video and we do it. Not you know, “We’re gonna do this on the 17th of this month, and we’re gonna do it at this time, and we’re gonna” — we haven’t shot videos like that. That’s not how we do it. It’s like, “Call up D. Gainz or call up such-and-such, let’s shoot something today.” We wasn’t ready to shoot nothing, we wasn’t in that mood, you know what I mean?”

Chief Keef was also in hot water after missing a scheduled concert performance in Tuczon, AZ. He instead was turning up in Los Angeles.
Ro told promoters he had no idea on Sosa’s whereabouts.

Chief Keef wrote on Twitter that he was still in LA turning up on the day of his scheduled performance.

Rialto Theatre, the venue Chief Keef was set to perform, told fans that no on could locate Sosa, so the show they planned had to be cancelled.
Concert promotion company Phenomenon explained the ordeal confused fans.

“Sosa decided hanging in LA was more important than boarding a plane to do a show for his fans that paid money to see him,” the said.
